SUSTAINABILITY
It is the view of the Company that acting sustainably is a matter of urgency, not a ‘nice to have’. Events during the course of the year, including the bushfires in Australia, have propelled environmental issues even further into the forefront of consumers’ minds.
The practical, tangible sustainability practices that underpin our operations go beyond the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand accreditation held by each of our wineries. Our practices carry through from vineyards to packaging, with further steps toward safeguarding our environment for future generations made during the 2020 year.
In an industry dominated by coal-powered glass produced overseas, we have chosen to bottle our wines in New Zealand, using New Zealand-sourced, recycled glass, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting our local industry.n
Winery wastewater at all wineries is recycled to irrigate our vineyards and native plantings through a system held up as benchmarks in Marlborough and Central Otago.
The wetlands we have established beside our central bottling and warehousing facility plays an important role in maintaining a healthy eco-system and is a thriving habitat for local fauna. At our most recent planting day 700 beneficial native species were planted and 58 predators were removed.
Solar energy at four of our five wineries reduces our use of energy from the main grid.
Our small wineries are positioned amongst our vineyards, reducing the carbon footprint of incoming grapes during harvest, and integrating into the landscape. The living roof at Mt Difficulty is designed to encourage biodiversity, evaporative cooling and heat retention.
